It is a wonderful opportunity to show my hard work and enthusiasm in science. Testing the dog foods from a chemistry point of view helped me to better explain the importance of feeding your pet good food that is easily digestible. This is important so the pet stays healthy and lives a long time as an important member of the family.” Natallie Noel St. Patrick High School, Biloxi Pictured left, l-r, are Shannon Kirkpatrick, Richard Springer and Amelie Million Several St. Patrick students walked away with individual awards at Mississippi Association of Student Councils Conference held recently in Oxford, including: • Amelie Million, who received Council Member of the Year. • Richard Springer, who received Outstanding President and the Dale D.
